A devastating house fire in North Vancouver on Sunday has led to the displacement of several residents in the area.
Reports indicate that the fire broke out at around 5:30 a.m. at a century-old residence on Osborne Road East, causing extensive damage.
Emergency response teams worked tirelessly throughout the day to contain the fire and ensure that all hot spots were extinguished.
BC Emergency Health Services responded to the scene promptly at 5:45 a.m. and provided medical assistance to one individual who was later transported to the hospital in stable condition.
A resident, who chose not to be identified, shared harrowing details of narrowly escaping the inferno with only the clothes they were wearing.
The resident expressed gratitude that the situation was not more tragic, emphasizing the terrifyingly short window they had to flee the burning home.
Currently, there is no information available on the cause of the fire or the exact number of residents affected by the incident.
Efforts are underway to gather more details, and inquiries have been made to the District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services for additional updates.
